The Sultan's Harem.

The harCm consists of about one hun
drcd women and girls. They are vari-
ously bestowed in the palace As sign
of their belonging to this special ha-
rem they wear Il round of red cloth with
a small blue tassel hanging from it at the
back of the head. 1t is the symbol of
sub ;ection, like the fez of an Ottoman.
From the observation made of this ha-
rem, it is certain that its inmates are
kindly cared for. not merely in the every
day repasts, but in the amusements which
they improvise, writes S. S. Cox in the
Chicago Times.
The visitor at Constantinople who goes
on Friday noon to see the Sultan enter
the mosque at prayers may, if he keeps
his eyes alert, notice many servants bear
ing circular wooden trays going to or
coming from the Palace IildiZ These
trays are covered by a thick leather cap,
and the whole ted up in woolen
cloth. They are borne upon the head
of some stout servitor From them are
furnished the meals of those who depend
upon the Sultan or are connected with
him bv blood. The viands are delicate,
and the SuItana receives her share of
them from the imperial kitchen at DOlma
Bartche. As the journey of the dishes
is sometimes many miles, the viands are
not always in the best condition when
they arrive.
Another observation about this quasi
;npcrial harcm-thc Pasha who married
this Sultana is never allowed to see the

1t is Cold Up North.

A person who has never been in the
polar regions can probably have no idea
of what cold really is; but by reading
the terrible experiences of arctic travel
ers in that icy region some notion can
be formed of the extreme cold that pre-
walls there. When we have the temper
ature down to zero out of doors We
think it bitterly cold, and if our houses
were not so warm as, at least, 60 degrees
above zero, we should begin to talk of
freezing to death. Think, then, of iv-
ing where the thermometer goes down
to 35 degrees below zero in the house in
spite of the stove. OF course, in such
case the fur garments are pied on until
man looks like a great bundle of skins.
DR.. Moss, of the English polar expedi-
tion of 1875 and 1876, among other odd
things, tells of the effect of cold on q
wax candle which he burned there. The
temperature was 35 degrees below zero,
and the doctor must have been consid-
erably discouraged when, upon looking
at his candle, he discovered that the
flame had all it could do to keep warm.
Tt was so cold that the flame could not
melt all the wax of the candle, but was
forced to eat its way down the candle,
leaving a sort of skeleton of the candle
standing. There was heat enough, how
ever, to melt oddly y-shaped holes in the
thin walls of wax, and the result was a
beautiful lace like cylinder of white,
with tongue of yellow flame burning
inside it and sending out into the dark
ness many streaks of light. This is not
only curions effect of extreme cold,
but it shows how difficult it must be to
find anything like warmth in place
where even fire itself almost gets cold.
The wonder is that any man can have
the courage to willingly return to such
a bitter region after having once got
safely away from it, and yet the truth
is that the spirit of adventure is so
strong in some men that it is the very
hardship and danger which attract
them

General n. p. Banks tells q story
about one of his army chaplains which
never fails to "bring down" the G. A.
r. camp fires. The chaplains of the
regiments during the war had charge of
the mails for the regiments to which
they were attached. The mail for the
regiment of this particular chaplain had
not come to hand for many days. The
regiment was out of the line of commu-
nication Every day from one-haf to
two-thirds of the soldier boys filed up to
the chaplain's tent with such stereo-
typed inquiries as these:
"Any mail yet, chaplain 2"
"Have you heard from the mail p
''Do you know when the mails will
come p
"What do you think is delaying the
mail?'
The good man was so pestered with
inquiries that he had no time to prepare
his weekly sermon. He was obliged to
spend all his time in explaining that he
had no mail, that he had heard nothing
about the mail and that he knew moth
ing about the mail. 1t occurred to him
that he might put an end to his troubles
by sign. Procuring the bottom of an
old hard tack box he marked it with
charcoal and nailed it on tree in front
of his tent so that all might see this no
tice:
THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE
MAIL WILL ARRIVE.
The next anxious inquirer who came
along was a reckless young wag. He
gazed for while at the notice, and dis
covering the piece of charcoal which the
chaplain had dropped on the ground at
the completion of the sign, he seized if
and added these words:
AND HE DON'T CARE A CONTINENTAL.
The chaplain took in the sign and
never put out another one.

That night John and old Battsen were
sitting one on each of the hunks of the

English Newspapers.

The paper having the largest income
i'll London is the Duly Telegraph. The
paper is owned by Levy, Sr., and Law
son and Lawson, ,Jr. The Daily TeIe-
graph is by far the richest paper in Lon
don; indeed, / do not believe there is
any newspaper in the world which has
so large net income. [ have asked q
number of men whose business is close
ly connected with newspaper publishing
concerning the income of the Daily
Telegraph. Those who are familiar with
the advertising rates of the Telegraph,
and who know the figures of its circu-
lation, say that the net income of the
Daily Telegraph reaches the enormous
sum of e300, 900 per annum, or 81, ,5OO,-
900. This paper is said by all financial
authorities to have a reserve of {, 10000
of pounds invested, producing an in
come which can be used at any time for
any extra expenditure, like great war
or fight against competition from any
new newspaper enterprise. Its circula-
ton is in the neighborhood of 280,000;
that is its average. Although it is
Conservative paper, it comes closer to
the people of London than any other
newspaper published there. 1t has al
most no circulation IN the rIral dis
tricts. It's great circulation is almost
entirely confined to the city of London
itself.
The Times newspaper has a cireula-
ton now of something less than $4,000.
This paper will have to come down in
its price, rs its circulation has fallen off
considerably the last few years. Its in
come is about half that of the Telegraph,
namely, e15O,OOO. A large part of this
income is from its advertising. 1t has
a larger amount of advertising than any
other London paper. 1t is the highest
priced newspaper published to-day in
the world. The three pence charged
for it corresponds to six cents of Ameri-
can money. The Times in the rural dis
tricts is rented out 1t is often taken
by three people who divide the expendi
ture and its cost. In this way its read
ers are brought up to over 100000.

One WOman's Makeup.

| met the wife of Western Congress-
man in the COrcOran Gallery here yes
terday. While she does not by any
means represent type of Washington
women, she yet combines so many
traits that are found among them that
she is in q certain sense representative
She seems to he i'll sort of transition
state in every particular, not only as to
mental characteristics, but even in her
attire and manner. She had on bon
net that reached the furthest extreme
of fashion, a pair of thick -soled and
awkward boots that could only have
been made by II back country cobbler,
and her attire was an indescribably odd
collection of various styles and fashions.
Immediately beneath the new-fashion-
ed bonnet she had an old-fashioned
bang. Her eyes were bright, her color
perfect, and she talked with an enjoy
ment of one who was under a perpetual
spell of excitement. In summing up
her attire [ should place it somewhat as
follows: Shoes, Keokuk; bonnet, Paris;
cloth jacket, London; gown, Washing
ton; massive gold chain, Chicago; para
sol, New York; girdle. Vienna; accent,
London, Iowa, Paris, Illinois. New
York, New England, Germany, South
Carolina and Ireland That these war
ring elements will shortly evolve II

The Child's Perception.

The Philadelphia Sundoy School Times
says:-A child's penetration is keen9r,
and childs judgment is fairer, than
most parents imagine. 1t is true that q
child's knowledge is limited, and that
therefore he can be easily turned aside
from inquiry into Il realm of facts with
which he is quite unacquainted. But
when it comes to the discerning of spirit
and character, or to the testing of rea-
sons for OF against given course of ac-
ton, child is less likely to be deceived
than a person whose perceptions have
been blunted through misusing. Parents
are continually being judged by their
children, and these judgments are likely
to abide through life In ordinary so
cial life conventional ways may impose
on men and women of the world, but
such ways do not deceive God or the
children. There are two places where
parents are measured at their true worth
the closet and the nursery.
